PROGRAM PURPOSE: The El Valor/National-Louis
University (NLU) community-based Master of Business Administration
(MBA) program was created to increase the pool of managerial talent
from historically underrepresented populations in American society
that is available to address the needs of public and private sector
organizations. This partnership brings together El Valor, a non-profit
community organization committed to the promotion of inclusiveness
through educational opportunity and the internationally accredited
NLU Master of Business Administration program.
REQUIREMENTS: The NLU community-based
MBA program at El Valor is intended for individuals with proven
academic ability, strong managerial potential, and a professional
mission that is consistent with the program purpose. Applicants
are required to have a bachelor’s degree from an accredited
U.S. college or university or an equivalent degree from a recognized
non-U.S. university, and to apply and meet all admission requirements
of the NLU MBA program. Prospective students will be evaluated in
terms of academic credentials (including a writing assessment),
work experience, organizational/ community involvement, presentation
of individual qualifications, and letters of reference. Those accepted
into the program are expected to participate as a cohort and attend
all courses together until completion.
PROGRAM STRUCTURE, SCHEDULING, AND LOCATION:
The program consists of 13 courses (37 semester hours) of instruction.
Each class session is four hours. Classes will meet either during
the week in the evenings and/or all day Saturday or just mornings.
With National-Louis University's cohort program you'll register
only once at the start of your program, get a locked-in tuition
rate, and know your entire class schedule upfront. You'll go through
the program with the same diverse group of 20 students providing
a supportive learning environment and a rich network of peer professionals.
